Hear the story of how @AppleVis nearly closed down and our new partnership with @bemyeyes came about, as myself and @Thomas_domville were joined by Bryan and Hans to talk through it all, answer questions, and look to the future. #Accessibility AppleVis Extra 99: Inside the AppleVis Acquisition; A Conversation with Be My Eyes | AppleVis applevis.com/podcasts/applevis…
in reply to David Goldfield

@DavidGoldfield @JeffBishop That's an excellent question! We discussed this in detail during our recent podcast interview with the Be My Eyes team. Yes, we are completely free to critique Be My Eyes if their app is inaccessible or for any other reasons that warrant discussion on AppleVis. They will not interfere with or influence our team and their opinions. I hope this reassures everyone that AppleVis and its community can freely express any necessary criticisms towards Be My Eyes without fear of suppression.

Let's recap how the clock works shall we?
At midnight, a new day starts, so the time gets zeroed to 00:00, at least here in Europe. The clock value gets increased every minute all the way to 23:59 after which the day is concluded and a new day starts.

So if you claim that a ticket is valid from the time of first check-in till 00:00 on the same day, the validity interval is actually negative or zero at best. 🙄

Check your IP cameras: There's a new Mirai botnet on the rise

Yet another Mirai-family botnet growing by exploiting vulnerabilities in end-of-life devices, highlighting the importance of replacing EOL devices.

Depending on the device and its hardware, users _may_ be able to flash a different operating system or firmware onto a device that is no longer being maintained by the manufacturer to "extend its life."

reshared this

I've always envied Adobe Reader/Acrobat users and tablet apps users who have forever been able to freely write on PDFs as if they are physical sheets of papers. Yes, you can use #Xournal++, but I want it as a streamlined UX built into my day-to-day #GNOME PDF reader app.

Although it was not implemented in #Evince, the #Poppler library has some support for ink-like handwritten #PDF annotations.

I have now put together usecases & broad ideas into this #GNOMEPapers ticket: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Incubat…

In just over 8 days (12 September) you can watch the twelfth edition of @inclusivedesign24 #id24, a free online event that requires no payment, no sign-up, and no wading through overt product pitches:
inclusivedesign24.org/2024/sch…

Just look at that schedule and those great topics and speakers.

Set up a viewing party. Binge watch them again over the weekend. Participate in real-time to ask questions.

Yesterday I bought the web book Every Layout (every-layout.dev/), which teaches how to do CSS layout the right way. Now, I wonder if we could get National Braille Press or a similar organization to do a Braille version with tactile graphics, so fully blind people could more easily get their heads around this aspect of front-end web development. (I have enough usable vision to look at the graphics if I really need to.) Of course, testing one's own layouts would still be a challenge.
in reply to Matt Campbell

Somehow I've gotten stuck with working on frontend styles for an SSG-based website at work as a totally blind person, since I'm the only one that knows HTML/CSS/JS and we have specific brand requirements so it can't be avoided. The embarrassing dance of "How does this look now?" is tiring to everyone involved and slightly humiliating. I tried leveraging GPT vision in my workflow, which catches some things, but more often than not it's overly optimistic and wrong.

⌨️ prayer for the un-entitled user

"Like the rest of the web platform, interoperability is key to accessibility support. It is safe to say at this time (September 2024) that the display of title attribute content on keyboard focus is not implemented interoperably."

Zase se nechala slyšet moje milá paní účetní, že bankovní výpisy v událostech #AbraFlexi jsou sice fayn, ale je to málo. Chce tam všechno ...

Oficiálně tedy vyhlašuji nový projekt abraflexi-isds pro synchronizaci datové schránky s událostmi v AbraFlexi.

Termín realizace zatím není určen ale velmi jej může také ovlivnit váš názor v komentářích.

Aplikace bude jak je mým dobrým zvykem zdarma a #OpenSource.

The city of Columbus Ohio got hacked by a ransomware gang, they didn't pay the ransom so the gang released half of the stolen data which included secret police and prosecutor files. The leak exposed countless victims, witness and confidential informants personal info and communications with the city.

The city claimed NO info was leaked. A cyber security enthusiast went to the media and proved otherwise.
